what "thing" is he referring to? I don't get the obtuse.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Poor Mark. On the plus side, he's about to watch one of the best episodes of television ever made.

He wasn't. He got to the end of "I Was Made to Love You."

Yeah, I just watched through season 5 and was ready to gird my loins for "The Body" and forgot about the end of "I Was Made to Love You". Total gut punch.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Mom?" "Mom?"..."Mommy?"
TOTAL fucking gut punch.
He is going to love Anya even more than he does already for her speech, though.

I know everyone and their brother gets wibbly over the Fruit Punch speech, but it never did anything for me. On the other hand, her speech to Andrew in the deserted hospital made while they're scrounging for supplies ("Well...I guess I was...kinda new to bein' around humans before. But now I've... seen a lot more, gotten to know people... seen what they're capable of, and... (shrugs) I guess I just realized...how amazingly screwed-up they all are. I mean really, really screwed-up in a monumental fashion....And they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die...which they...they know is coming, yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. They're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. They kill each other, which is clearly insane. And yet, here's the thing. When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting, but they do. They never... never quit. So I guess I will keep fighting, too.") always moved me more.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The fruit punch line, for me, is the easier way to convey all of this. Anya is very flawed, but at the end she's also very human. More human than many of the people.
